Save money and go greener!

There are many reasons you may want to install a wood burning stove in your home, extra warmth and saving money spring to mind. But, wood burners are good for the environment which I think we all agree is a very good reason.

The “green aspect” hardly needs an explanation. Wood is a renewable and easily obtained source for burning. There’s a zero-sum impact in carbon emission as well. When a tree falls in the woods and takes 50 years to completely decay, ever so slowly it gives off heat, water, and CO2, and leaves its mineral content in the forest.

When you burn wood the exact same thing happens only obviously very quickly. No additional-anything is produced. Keep in mind those minerals are in the partly form of ash and what’s commonly called creosote– which can stick to the inside of the chimney. That’s why there are chimney sweeps.

One of the great advantages of wood heating is having heat when there is no power. There’s not much more satisfying than being warm and happy around your wood stove when all the lights in the neighbourhood are out. You’ll have that pioneer feeling, as you should. You thought ahead!

Finally, today’s wood heating appliances are designed for beauty. A wood stove or fireplace insert can be the focal point of the room. Regardless of your taste, there’s a stove designed for you. In fact, it’s difficult to find ugly stoves or inserts nowadays. With so many beautiful stoves to choose from and the costs coming down does make this a great heating solution.
